JAKARTA - Samsung is working with Google to create devices that implement Matter, and can be linked to Samsung SmartThings and Google Home systems in the future.

The announcement was made by Samsung at the 'Samsung Developer Conference (SDC) 2022' event at the Moscone Center in San Francisco on October 12 local time.

In his keynote address, Deputy Chairman Han Jong-hee, head of the DX division of Samsung Electronics, said, "We will continue to innovate to make the world more connected and the lives of our customers more comfortable and smarter through solutions."

The Korean tech giant said it would update its SmartThings app in the coming months.

This will allow users to be able to use devices that support Matter even if they are installed in the Google ecosystem and vice versa.

Launching from the csa-iot website, Matter is an IP-based connectivity protocol built on proven technology, helping you connect and build a reliable and secure IoT ecosystem.

Matter is currently being developed by companies such as Apple, Google, Amazon, and Samsung to ensure its smart home devices work throughout the ecosystem.

Based on records from TechCrunch, Last Week's Connectivity Standards Alliance, the consortium behind Matter, officially approved the first set of specifications so that developers could submit certifications for their solutions.

Samsung says they will use Matter's multi-admin capabilities to create devices that are easy to find and control in various apps.

With this innovation, users will be able to control this device from the Samsung SmartThings app or the Google Home app.

"As the largest Android developer, Samsung appreciates a strong partnership with Google," said Jaeyeon Jung, Corporate VP and head of SmartThings in Samsung said in a statement.

According to him, this collaboration will bring greater flexibility to users through the multi-admin feature.

"So that it allows us to better support our large and potential user bases with Samsung and Google products," he concluded.
